In this era, there were two Egon Zimmermannâs competing on the Austrian ski team, which has led to some confusion about their lives. [Josef Egon Norbert Zimmermann] competed at the 1960 Winter Olympics in downhill, after competing at the 1958 World Championships, where he met American skier, [Penny Pitou]. They later married but divorced in 1968. The winner of this event is simply Egon Zimmermann, who competed at the 1964 and 1968 Winter Olympics, of whom it is often written that he married Pitou, which is incorrect. However, this Egon Zimmermann, the Olympic downhill champion, was later diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
